the stars, the flowers, but never a glow-worm

Helloooooo.

In the time since I last posted, by which I mean in the journal-ing capacity and not just Arashi's faces (though they are worth a million posts and all of my time ♥) I have:


    Gone to a memorial service at Arlington National Cemetery
    Started walking every morning at noooooo'clock
    Paid for over 1,000 dollars in repairs to my vehicle
    Marathon watched and caught up with Game of Thrones
    Met [personal profile] tangiblewhimsy and taken her to the beach ♥
    Mourned the loss of another family member
    Lost 15 pounds and given up soda
    Taken a step forward in the modern world by replacing a 10 year old modem
    Met with amazing Arashi fans in DC for food and passionate discussions of our manband
    Decided to purchase a new, less cursed vehicle by the end of the year
    Started writing some stuff


Among other things. It's been a fairly productive summer, given how I would normally spend my time curled up in a ball complaining about how the temperature should never be above ~my comfort~ degrees. I have been actively attempting to change myself for the better. I want to be healthier, happier, and exist more in a social sphere.

It used to be that I didn't really use Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, or any apps on my iPhone for anything basically at all. I isolated myself to LiveJournal only and spent the rest of my time playing bubbleshooter.

I still like bubbleshooter, don't get me wrong, but it's nice to interact with people too. I like to send stickers on LINE. I like to converse in real time! In fact, please add me on things if you're looking for me! @twitter - @tumblr Introduce me to your friends and I'll introduce you to mine and I promise no biting, just flailing.

I think it would be exhausting to be super positive all the time about everything. I'm too passionate about certain things to not get angry, to not feel frustrated or upset. But I feel different lately! I really do, and I hope the people around me can see it. I'm still learning, growing, figuring out what to improve. I still have goals, still have some small dreams, don't entirely know what the hell I'm all about, but... summer's been unique this year and I'm glad it's not quite over.

How are you? ♥
